APPLICATION & LEASING







How do I apply for an apartment?



You can easily apply online through our website or visit the leasing office where one of our Team Members can assist you during office hours.  At the bottom of our website under More Info, you can read our Resident Qualification Acknowledgement, which includes details regarding our rental criteria.  Applications typically require an application fee & deposit, proof of income, and a valid photo ID.







What are the income requirements?



Applicants are generally required to collectively have verifiable income in an amount not less than three (3) times the monthly rent payable by the Residents (not including any applicable monthly concessions).   At the bottom of our website, under More Info, you can read our Resident Qualification Acknowledgement, which includes details regarding our rental criteria, including if additional requirements are needed, such as having a Guarantor.





Do you run background and credit checks?



Yes.
All applicants complete standard identification, income, credit, criminal, and rental history screenings.  Please contact the leasing office & speak with one of our Team Members who can explain the process.  Our Resident Qualification Acknowledgement, at the bottom of our website under More Info, includes details regarding our rental criteria. 







How long does the approval process take?



The key to a seamless application process is to have all your documents ready to upload.  After all documentation has been received, it typically takes 3 business days, depending on verification requirements.  If you are missing needed documents or there are other verifications needed, the process can take longer.







What type of lease will I sign?



The Marlowe uses the Texas Apartment Association (TAA) Lease because it provides residents with a standardized, professionally developed lease designed specifically for Texas rental housing. It clearly outlines the rights and responsibilities of both the resident and the community, helping provide consistency, transparency, and clarity throughout the lease term.







Is renter’s insurance required?



Yes, we require all residents who will be signing the lease to carry $100,000 in renter’s liability insurance. Before your lease begins, you’ll need to show us proof of coverage, and you’ll need to keep the policy active during your entire stay with us. If you don’t already have a provider, Homebody is a quick and easy option that meets all our requirements and they approve all our residents so you don’t need to worry about finding a provider.  You can sign up in about five minutes at their website or by calling 1.877.577.9850.  We also strongly recommend getting coverage for your personal belongings, as liability-only policies don’t cover those.  Let us know if you have any questions - we’re happy to help!







Is there an online portal for residents?



Yes, our online resident portal is where you can pay rent, submit & track maintenance requests, sign or renew your lease, view your lease & ledger details, reserve community spaces, manage renter’s insurance, rent a storage unit or bike space, and communicate with the team.







How do I pay rent?



You can easily pay rent through the online resident portal or in the office using a variety of payment methods, such as debit (ACH), credit card, echeck, MoneyGram, cashier’s or personal checks.







How do I renew my lease?



Lease renewal options are typically sent to you before the end of your lease and can be signed online through the resident portal.

Our lease requires a 60-day written notice of intent to vacate, and your move-out notice must not terminate the Lease before the end of the Lease term or renewal period.

 

Do you offer individual leases & co-living?

​We do not offer individual leases (by-the-bed) with co-living arrangements (individual leases with private rooms and shared commons spaces). We offer a single lease with everyone 18 years and older on the same lease.

What environmentally friendly features do you have?



EV Charging stations, Energy efficient air conditioning and heating controlled by the smart Nest thermostat, LED lighting, ceiling fans in all bedrooms, and the Teal Boiler system which is more energy-efficient than traditional individual hot-water heaters because it heats water centrally and on demand, rather than continuously maintaining hot water in multiple storage tanks. This reduces standby energy loss, improves efficiency, and can provide a more consistent supply of hot water.  Our community is a proud participant of the Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) program.







Can guests use the amenities?



We welcome your guests to enjoy our spectacular spaces.  To maintain a peaceful & premium experience for all residents, guests must be accompanied by a resident and there is a limit of two guests per apartment.

Yes, the boardroom can be reserved for a private meeting or event.  See the office reservation details.







Are there resident events or community activities?



We love bringing neighbors together through social events and seasonal celebrations.  Getting to know your neighbors is a great way to experience our community, not just for the things you can do, but for the people you can meet.  We offer engaging resident experiences that are thoughtfully designed to bring neighbors together so everyone can feel welcome and at home.

Is there an on-site management office?
